It's possible! But it's not at the top of her to-do list. "I see her as somebody who has just gone through this horrible relationship and betrayal and I would expect her to respond to that in her own life," creator Jon Brokenkamp tells me. "Whether that's a rebound or finding somebody else or going off on her own, she's got some soul searching to do. Who is she? She's at a place now where Liz has to confront that."

Because it’s never too early to be talking
about the NBC hit’s midseason time slot change, EP John Eisendrath told
us that while the Super Bowl episode will pick up the fall finale’s
cliffhanger (airing Nov. 10), that super-special Sunday showcase also
needs to be accessible to noobs. “We need to have a reason for people
to need to come back when we move to Thursdays [at 9/8c, starting Feb.
5],” he allows, “but… we hopefully design a story where if you’ve never
watched the show, you still will be able to enjoy it.” Because unlike
2013’s post-Super Bowl show, Elementary — which, being on CBS, is less-serialized — “We have to be more judicious. That is the challenge.”

While it sounds like Liz may show a little sibling rivalry-like jealousy towards the new agent (Mozhan Marnò) joining Red’s team, she’ll find out just how much Red cares about her when he enlists someone to shadow her and offer protection. Of course, this makes it much more difficult for her to go behind Red’s back. Yeah, it’ll be a two-way street when it comes to keeping secrets this season.

I’ll let Megan Boone take this one: “She decided to keep Tom alive because it was in a misguided effort to reclaim her dignity and her power,” she says. “She was so mislead by him. Ultimately, she was made a fool. There will be suggestions in upcoming episodes that she may still have feelings for him, but these are not simple acts of trying to rekindle a romance. She held him prisoner for months and denies him medical care and proper nutrients and everything. This is something much more complicated. It has much more to do with ego than heart.”

Even though The Samoan is keeping his mouth shut, that detective is going to find new evidence that puts Liz’s freedom—and the task force’s future—in jeopardy. To save her, Red will set his sights on tracking Tom down and he’ll find help from a surprising ally. Also, someone besides Liz’s former faux husband will come to her rescue once she’s on trial.
